Hello,

I have a problem that perhaps someone could share some suggestions on how to
resolve it.

We have a SQL Cluster with a primary and secondary node. We also have a
File/Print Cluster with a primary and secondary node. Both clusters are in
the same rack with two UPS’s. The server room switches over to a back-up
generator during a power failure and the UPS only has to hold up the servers
for 10 or 15 seconds before the emergency power comes on-line.

When a power failure occurs, all of the resources are still on the primary
node of the File/Print server. However, on the SQL cluster, the SQL_Server
group has failed over to the secondary node. Cluster Group and Group 0 are
still on the primary node.

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in Advance,
Danny Veals

Put your network switch on the same UPS. NIC port failure will cause a
failover of a SQL server virtual instance.

Thanks Geoff, that make a lot of sense. I'll be to moving the network switch
over to the same UPS as the SQL cluster tonight.
